The men who choose to do this are vile. But I'm also astounded to learn that Dollar Tree condones serial sexual assault on its premises. $DLTR should either admit fault and clean up its act, or go out of business.

This was a formative book for me back when I was in junior high school. And then it was turned into a TV miniseries, and millions of families watched it and learned together. I can't tell whether Tennessee is more determined to erase Black history, or education.

There is no virus that “only” causes serious harm in people who are high-risk. And even if there were, it would still be important to protect yourself and others. Please take steps to prevent getting and spreading illness in order to protect your own health and the health of others.

If only high-risk people die from that illness, why should I care about it?

1. Because you should care about other people, whether or not they are high-risk. No person is disposable, so it’s important to take steps to protect the people around us. Even if you aren’t concerned about your health, taking steps to prevent illness also helps keep you from spreading illness to people who are even more vulnerable. And remember, you can’t always tell who is most vulnerable just by looking at them!

2. Because people of all ages and health histories can (and do) experience severe illness and die from common viruses. There is no virus that only affects people who are high-risk. Even if certain people are more likely to experience severe illness and death than others, even young and healthy people can and do die from illnesses like the flu, COVID-19, measles, RSV and more. All people should take viruses seriously, even if you are not considered high-risk.

3. Because dying isn’t the only risk. Even if data shows that most people do not die from a certain illness, many illnesses like COVID-19, measles, and more can cause significant long-term health consequences. These risks include permanent lung damage, memory loss, disability, and more. All people, with or without underlying health conditions, are at risk of these long-term conditions. It’s not only about living or dying. It’s also about protecting your quality of life and health you might not get back once it’s gone.
